Otoplasty (Ear Surgery) Patient Information - WORK: Follow the plan you and Dr. Zevon have agreed upon. EXERCISE: Avoid contact sports and other strenuous activity for 4 weeks. Dr. Zevon will give you permission to increase your activities according to the progress of your recovery and your overall fitness level. Wear the headband during sports for 6 - 8 weeks after ear surgery. EXPOSURE TO SUNLIGHT AND HEAT: Avoid prolonged exposure to sun, sun lamps and/or heat for 4 weeks. For 3 to 6 months after surgery, your ears may turn pink and swell in hot weather. Scars take at least one year to fade to their greatest extent. During this time, it is advisable to protect them from the sun. Cover your scars with a hat, and/or use a high SPF sunscreen. We carry sunscreens suitable for post-surgery patients. COLD WEATHER: Protect your ears from cold weather by wearing a scarf or a hat, as you may not feel extremely cold temperatures due to temporary numbness after ear surgery.
